2000 Audi A4 Quattro Avant Wagon 4-door 1.8l on 2040-cars

Year:2000 Mileage:120052

Fairfax, California, United States

Fairfax, California, United States

This is a tuner car that I have been having fun with since about 2005.   Over the years I consistently searched out and purchased quality parts and components and had most of them professionally installed by 034 Motorsports, or Kovacs Motors (San Rafael, CA).   Used as a back up commuter car for most of its life.  Never tracked unfortunately, but pretty much ready for some 1/4 mile blasts or a nice day any any good road course.   It has a significant amount of tasteful modifications and might just be what you are looking for.  Wife says I have to sell this and one of my bikes, see my other auctions if you like turbo motorcycles.

This vehicle is a "big turbo car".  If you have never driven a "big turbo car" it is good to know that they ultimately sacrifice low end torque for top end horsepower.   This car is no exception.   It does have to spool the turbo, but at 22PSI on California 91 Octane pump gas, everything over 4500 RPM is exciting.  Freeway onramps are very fun...


Performance Enhancements:

ENGINE:

  • Milltek exhaust
  • ATP GTRS turbo Upgrade (350HP capable turbo)
  • 034 Motorsport Big Intake pipe
  • EVO MS FMIC (Front Mount Intercooler)
  • Audi 2.7T Throttle Body Upgrade
  • Dual Cone spray 550CC fuel injectors
  • 034 MS custom tune 91 Octane (Tuned on 4 wheel drive Dyno)
  • 034 MS custom tune 100 Octane  (Tuned on 4 wheel drive Dyno)
  • HKS EVC IV Digital Boost Controller
  • Fresh Ingition Coils
  • "Green" brand Cotton Air Filter (IMHO, better than K&N)
  • ECS Underdrive Pulleys
  • 034 MS high flow  cat
  • Forge Diverter Valve
  • New South Performance Phenolic Intake Gasket (Intake Heat Reducer)


DRIVETRAIN:

  • Sachs Stage 3 clutch and lightened flywheel
  • Synthetic fluids in drivetrain
  • Urethane Snub Mount


SUSPENSION:

  • Eibach sports springs
  • Eibach Sway bars front and back


INSTRUMENTATION:
  • APR Air vent boost gauge
  • Wideband 02 sensor Installed
  • EGT sensor installed


Updated parts:

  • Alternator relatively fresh
  • Rear view  Mirror is new - non auto dimming
  • Sunroof Switch
  • Front Door Speakers 
  • Brakes Master Cylinder
  • Stereo Head Unit (OEM) 
  • Fresh Interstate Battery 
  • Fresh Oil and filter


Other Upgrades:

  • Tinted Windows - $250
  • 17" Audi Factory Rims w/ Continental DW Summer Tires - installed on vehicle now
  • 15" Audi Factory Rims w/ Toyo M&S tires (will be in rear of car)


Service:

  • 95K Timing belt change
  • Always synthetic oil.  Mostly Royal Purple, but some Mobile 1 and others.
  • Always oversized Oil Filter
  • Brake Fluid Swapped 20K ago


The Good:

This car is very clean with lots of professionally installed upgrades.   Given that it is running a remapped Stock ECU, any problem that might occur would  easily diagnosed as if the vehicle was stock.    It is very clean cosmetically and only has some small areas where wear and tear were inevitable.    The car dynoed on California pump gas at 265 AWDHP which is well over 300HP at the crank.     There are Wideband 02 and EGT sensors installed.   Adjustable digital boost controller in glovebox.  Tinted windows.   Full on sleeper.   


The Not So Good:

  • Some small (filled) chips on the front of the hood.
  • One small depression over the rear driver side door (See Pics)
  • Drivers seat has tear in seam of seat cover.  
  • Shift knob is only about half covered with leather. 
  • 1 17" rim has some minor curb rash (see pics)
  • Dash LED readout mostly failed
  • AC condenser had pinhole hole patched.   Repair done 3+ years ago and stable. 


The Bad:  (NOTE: CALIFORNIA BUYERS PAY ATTENTION)

In April of 2013 I took the car to get smogged in my home region of Northern California.    Given the extensive mods the car was flagged as a "gross polluter" given that it did not have the "secondary air pump" installed.   This is true.   Smog laws and testing are getting more strict in CA and they finally caught up with this vehicle.   I have all the required parts and can ship with the car.   I can not guarantee that this  car can be easily somgged in CA given that it officially failed a visual smog inspection.   It never had problems passing any of the sniff tests,  but with missing parts, it did not pass the visual inspection.


Extra Parts:

  • The sale comes with and EXTRA SET of factory rims and Mud and Snow tires for heading to the mountains.   
  • Brand new REAR brake pads and rotors (Blauparts A4 "U Slotted" kit - (Blauparts product id =D2B1520-01-A) - These should be installed in the next 5-10K miles. - $140
  • Additional unused refurbished OEM CD player head unit.

Is Audi readying hardcore final edition R8?

Sun, 12 Oct 2014

The days may be numbered on the current Audi R8, but if our latest round of spy photos is any indication, Audi's first supercar is going to go out with a bang. This camo'd tester was spotted parked somewhere in Europe, and if doesn't at least belie a faster R8, it certainly indicates that a more aerodynamically intense model is coming.
The tall rear wing is the most obvious aerodynamic change. It's joined out back by a none-too-subtle diffuser and the cannon-like exhausts of the R8 V10 Plus, while the front and side of this particular R8 are home to new side sills and winglets on the lower front fascia.
We'll be keeping our ears to the ground for any more on what looks to be another variation of first-generation Audi supercar. Until then, let us know what you think this car may foreshadow. A new halo model? A gentleman racer? Have your say below.

Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program

Tue, 04 Oct 2011

You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.

Audi A9 Concept teased in video, new design chief tells us what to expect in LA

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

Audi has just dropped another teaser for the A9 Concept it'll be displaying at this month's LA Auto Show. This time around, instead of one static image, we get a tantalizing video of the showcar narrated by new Audi design chief Marc Lichte.
In terms of the A9, we get a better look at the body form than we've yet seen, and we also sneak a peek at its massive, blocky, turbine-style wheels that the conceptual flagship will wear in Los Angeles.
Lichte also takes this video opportunity as a chance to say how-do-you-do to the enthusiast community, commenting not only on his vision for the A9, but also offering up his bona fides in terms of family racing and art heritage. Get to know the man behind the car behind the sheet, here.
